Comments:

I left Baker my Junior year and volunteered in the Army.After basic and AIT I was stationed at Homestead AFB FL, I then went to Germany for the remainder of my first tour of duty. Returned to states to my first wife and Daughter and lived in SC for 11 years. I went to technical college and got my AS Degree in Electronic Servicing, while working full time and volunteering as a Paramedic/ Rescue Diver ( for 10 years).
Divorced and reentered service.
After basic (again) I was sent to Korea for 1 year, then I was stationed at White Sands Missle Range NM. I was there for 1 1/2 years , then I was sent to Ft. Gordon GA for training in Communications Security Equipment Repair
and NCO Academy. I returned to Germany for 3 more years. I put 8k on my Harley touring Germany and served in Tel Aviv, Isreal during Desert Storm with the Patriot Unit. After the war I returned to the states and resided in Augusta Ga for 7 years. I took up truck driving, saw 48 states, Canada and Mexico over a 2 year period. I settled down in Ma where I have been a Telecom Tech for the union out of Boston for over 10 years. I will be retireing in 3 years. I spend most of the winters tying fishing flies and all summer fishing, digging clams and oysters and lobstering. Doesn't pay alot but I can eat all I want! Upon rertireing I plan on returning to Virginia and maybe then I can finally put down some roots.

School Story:

I often think of the good times and friends I left behind at Baker. Finding this site brought back some very fond memories. I've tried to forget the bad ones.

Birthplace?

Norfolk VA
